How does wind spin those giant turbines? It seems like even high-speed winds wouldn’t move it very quickly with how heavy the turbine blades must be.
In: Planetary Science
Being heavy doesn’t prevent things from moving.
Being heavy makes acceleration more difficult, meaning, it would take a longer time for a heavy turbine to get up to speed. But being heavy also makes deceleration more difficult, so once it’s moving, it’s more difficult to stop.
